To get their debut-album to a wider audience, they dropped by the studio with guest vocalist Annelies Hilgersom, for a chat and some neat live-tracks.

Bad Wurm - 'So What' Gouda, December 29th 2000

Bad Wurm (Gouda/Rotterdam/Reeuwijk), 4-track recorded.
Friday December 29th 2000, 'So What' Gouda, during 'De Goudse Afrekening' live-broadcast.
Tracks: Mr. Lee/Broken Bass JamChristian Grandmother/Monstrueux Rarite/Mountains Of Zoom/Funfare Tragedy.

Note: even though the rest of the organising crew had heard their Cd before booking, they looked very disturbed throughout the gig. Which made mer laugh harder, making them look even more disturbed. The soundman never knew what hit him. The loudest and heaviest band ever programmed during the live-show.

'Lentepop 2000' Festival - Gouda, May 27th 2000.

Lentepop 2000'-festival, Gouda. 2-track recorded from 4-track premix-signal.
Saturday May 27th 2000, 'Lentepop 2000'-Festival Gouda.
Note: To capture most of the festival, a CD-recorded recorded the stereo pre-mix I made with my 4-track recorder directly onto CD’s. During the first songs the organiser, who owned the recorder, paused inbetween tracks. This resulted not only in intermitted recordings, but, as the guy was having conversations at the same time, missing parts of songs as well. Later on, he was too involved with other things, so the Cd was left running from end to start. After the festival, the CD’s vanished, untill summer 2003, whewn all but one (‘Aeolus’) re-appeared. They’re now in my archive.

Aqualung (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Haastrecht).
Tracks: Jesus Saved Me/Locomotive Breath/To Cry You A Song/Aqualung.
Note: Tribute to ‘Jethro Tull’ by local musicians.

Quip! (Gouda/Haastrecht).
Tracks: Try My Friends/Trap/<4 more unknown songs>.

Bad Wurm (Gouda).
Tracks: The Rib-Off/Christian Grandma/Monstertruck/Demon/Gunslinger/Mr Lee.
Note: slightly chaotic, but nevertheless quite intriguing performance by this ‘Blender-rock’group, blending various styles together to one specfic ‘cut-n-Paste’style.

Scent Of Incense (Gouda).
Tracks: Dreaming/Fantasy/Addition/Perfect Girl.
Note: this gig was cut short, as the band took their instruments on stage directly from the warm dressing room. As it was cold and windy, they de-tuned during the first two songs. After a 15 minute break, it was decided to play one more song. I thought I’d recorded the complete gig on 4-tracks on request of the band, but discovered it was also captured on CD.

3 AM (Gouda).
Tracks: Song/Fit For Life/Get To You/To Match Her/The Pain (?)/Why?/Hedonism/With Or Without.
Note: one of very few gigs by this band, which rose from the ashes of ‘After Dark’ and at that time freshly disbanded ‘Gandillion’.

Little Wing (Moordrecht/Gouda).
Tracks: Wasted/Fire/Get Back To You/Are You Gonna Go My Way?/Steal Away/Frozen Rainbow/Snowblind/Gangland/Breaking The Law.
Note: band from organising crew, playing covers and showing off on stage. Ironically this Cd got processed faulty in he recorder, so can’t be played in normal way.

Big Deal (Gouda/Reeuwijk).
Tracks: Hush/Party Town/No Mans Land/Right Here/Matopos/Don't Stop Me Now/Jump.
Note: coverband, managed by one of the organisers for a short while. Released a self-penned CD few years later.

Aces (Gouda).
Tracks: Intro/Death/Come Back/Walls Of Ebony/Master Of Puppets/Aces/Court Deny(?).
Note: Last gig with founding guitarist Edwin, who died Jan. 4th 2001 on complications of diabetes. The band didn’t know their gig got recorded, so were in quite a shock, when they got word from it.

Slang Dang (Gouda/Haasstrecht).
Tracks: Loser/Pretty Little Girl/Hey You Say/Small Place/ Mercy/Slang Dang Fever/Cafe/Hell Of A Party.
Note: the band had so much fun, they wanted to play along. The discussion and attempt they did, was captured as well.

Aeolus (Gouda/Haastrecht).
Tracks: Vicious Circle/Anonymous Embrace/Come Here My Love/Dust On The Mirror/Forbidden City
Note: Debut performance of this Prog Rock band. As the recording quality was way under the bands’ standards, they refused to release the recording master. Got a copy from their former singer in 2004, completing the set of recordings, plus this information.

Travis Walk (Gouda/Den Haag).
Tracks: Intro/Texas Flood/Get Me A Bug/Love Struck Baby/Little Lover Boy/600 Blues/Close To You.
Note: well oiled machine, playing stampin’ blues. Few years later the band played their final gig at the same festival, as the singer decided to dedicate all of his time to the career of his wife, Dutch pornstar Kim Holland.

Blind Justice (Gouda/Rotterdam).
Tracks: Intro/Bloed Uit Je Oren/In Equilibrium/Coming Home/Lost In All/Cage Of Fear/Life Is Bitter, Life Is Sweet/Short Jam 1/Pissed/Weasel/Short Jam 2/Make Me/Outro.
Note: Slightly overloaded recording, thus unfortunately unfit for broadcast. Last gig with drummer Andre Borgman, who went over to 'After Forever'. Seemingly last gig with their soundman as well, I understood later on, as he overloaded volumes at every gig.

'Doorgeplugd' Session 2: Bad Wurm

Between September 2000 and December 2001, a set of sessions was recorded live and produced by John Radersma, owner of recording- and rehearsal studio ‘Plug Unit’ in Reeuwijk, Holland. As many bands rehearsed there, but not had the material yet to showcase themselves, these sessions were done and aired live.

Bad Wurm (Gouda).
Recorded: October 13th 2000.
First Broadcast: October 27th 2000.
Tracks: Mountains Of Zoom/Monstrueux Rarité/Monstertruck (Acoustic Version).

Note: One of only two sessions, of which the included interview was NOT broadcast. Due to technical problems, as some members of the band preferred to join in with the interview running around the studio and screaming both into the mike and against the walls on the other side of the room. Merely due to the happy and chaotic moods in the band and forcing them to perform acoustic, which they never did before!
